==Loss==
In February 1798 Captain J. C. Searle sailed ''Garland'' for the Cape of Good Hope. There Captain James Athol Wood replaced him.
''Garland'' she received information that a large French ship was anchored off Port Dauphiné, Madagascar.〔Hepper (1994), p.87.〕 ''Garland'' sailed to investigate but as she approached the vessel on 26 July, ''Garland'' struck a rock and sank before she could be run onshore.〔 Still, the crew was able to take to the boats. Wood then decided to capture the French ship, which turned out to be a merchantman, armed with 24 guns and with a crew of 150 men.〔 The French crew had run their ship onshore at ''Garland''s approach and abandoned her. However, when they saw ''Garland'' run onshore, they tried to retrieve their own vessel. Fortunately, Wood and his boats had the wind and the reached the merchantman first. Wood was able to convince the natives to turn most of the Frenchmen. It was five months before arrived to rescue Wood, his crew, and his prisoners. ''Star'' took the prisoners to Île de France. Wood and his men returned to the Cape in the prize, a small boat of 15 tons burthen that they had built, and some small vessels that were prizes to the Cape squadron.〔Marshall (1823), Vol. 1, Part 2, pp.791-2.〕
Wood returned to England, where on 15 December 1798 he and his officers were acquitted at the court martial for the loss of their ship.
